Goodbye 2006

There have been a lot of changes this year. Scratch that. There have been a lot of changes this month alone, changes no one saw coming. Some good, some awful, but all sadly a part of life. I met some awesome people, and I lost some awesome people. And now, more changes. One great, and one not so great. I spoke to Silas last night, he is ENGAGED! He proposed to Beth on the 24th and I am so happy for him. Sadly, Adam is also engaged, and this particular bit of gag-worthy news occurred on the 25th. That's right kids, Adam Lee Dack is engaged. Unfortunately it's to that hag Ashley that none of us can remotely tolerate but what can you do. Hopefully it is a long engagement and he wises up and sees what the rest of us saw a long time ago.

So, December has been interesting, that seems most fitting even though that's not quite the word I am looking for. A lot of it was spent wondering what the fuck happened, how things went the way they did, a lot of replaying conversations in my head wondering what I could have done differently, and why I didn't notice when he talked about this or that. But I was insignificant in the situation and I know there's nothing I could have done. But you still wonder, because it is human nature.

In a couple days I am heading back to Lincoln to see Britty and meet this boy of hers. We'll see if he gets the stamp of approval from the Enforcer here, and I will celebrate the New Year with friends. It seems odd to be celebrating something now, but what else can you do? You can hide from the things that hurt you, or you can face them, and grow up and move on. You do it because you have to, and that's that.
